The West End

From the shops of Oxford Street and Covent Garden to the bars and restaurants of Soho, China Town and Leicester Square, it is always busy in the West End.

For a bit of culture, head to bustling Trafalgar Square, home not only to Nelson’s famous column but also to some of Britain’s best collections of art at the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. For a quieter pace of life, head to the peaceful streets of Bloomsbury, which is also home to the fascinating British Museum.

The West End is home to the majority of London’s theatres, as well as several cinemas, comedy clubs and music venues, providing plenty of options for an evening’s entertainment.
